CEREMONIAL OATH releases deluxe re-issue of 'The Book Of Truth' in North America

CEREMONIAL OATH - Sweden's pioneers of twisted melodic death metal -
have released their legendary debut album, The Book Of Truth, as a
digital download in North America! To purchase the deluxe re-issue of
The Book Of Truth, please visit iTunes or Amazon for a
digital download.

Besides the album tracks found on The Book Of Truth,
this download also includes all tracks from the super rare demos, Wake The
Dead and Black Sermon (on which CEREMONIAL OATH was still
performing under the band's previous moniker DESECRATOR), as well as the two
tracks from the legendary Lost Name Of God 7" (originally released on
Corpse Grinder Records in 1992).

The Book Of Truth doesn't follow the usual melodic
approach that many bands from the Gothenburg scene established during the heyday
of the scene from 1994-1999. Being neither pure Gothenburg melodic death metal
nor typical old school Swedish death metal in the Stockholm vein, but more a
fine mélange of both worlds, spiced-up with some technical finesse a la MORBID
ANGEL and NOCTURNUS, The Book Of Truth has justly become a classic
death metal album. To this day, the sound of CEREMONIAL OATH has remained
surprisingly fresh and unique.
